This is a completely new port of Xen to the ARM architecture which
targets only those processors which have the virtualisation hardware
extensions. You can see the announcement of this port here:
        http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=132257857628098&w=2
        
We are targeting xen-unstable and mainline Xen with this port so
eventually you will be able to get it from there.
        
The existing XenARM port will continue to exist in order to support
hardware which does not have these extensions.

Note that no such hardware actually exists yet. The system referred to
in the G+ post will not itself be able run the v7 w/ virtualisation
extensions port of Xen, it serves only as a v7 compatible build
environment.
